Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

She was beautiful in the low light of the room, the music playing softly in the background as they moved and swayed with its quiet melody. Gazing into her eyes, he got lost too easily as one hand drifted up to gently touch her cheek.
Her smile, the way she leaned into it and reached up to touch his hand…she was breathtaking.
Smiling, he drew her close and pressed his cheek to hers. It was soft and warm, the scent of her sweet in his lungs as they swayed more slowly. She was light in his arms, a delicate flower of perfection.
“You’re an absolute vision tonight, babe.” He whispered to her softly. She made a soft sound, and as he drew back to look into her face again, he found her smiling. The sight made his chest tight as he pressed his forehead gently to hers.
“I know you ‘n me ain’t known each other long…but I love you.” He breathed, losing himself in her gaze again. “I want you to know that I am never gonna love another girl like I love you.”
His partner’s smile grew as her hand touched his cheek. He leaned into the contact, turning his head to press a kiss to the small, fragile little fingers that always seemed to find that one spot when he needed them.
Facing her again, he tilted his head and regarded her thoughtfully. “You love me, too, babe?”
“Aaaaaah…”
Laughing, Tommy gently rubbed Mayilia’s back and drew her close again, pressing his cheek to hers as they continued to sway to the sounds of the lullaby CD he had playing in the boombox in the corner of the room. “Yeah…that’s what I thought.”
Outside, beyond the neighborhood and on the Strip somewhere, Sal and Channing were at a club with the rest of the band, celebrating her stage manager’s birthday. Everyone had a date, and nobody had somewhere to be until morning.
He might not be the life of the party, and his date was snuggling against his shoulder to the sounds of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’…but the cats weren’t fighting, work had been quiet, and tonight the fates of the humans in Las Vegas were someone else’s problem while he put his girl to bed.
She was the perfect woman to complete a perfect day.
